(AP) -- DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) - Elliott Sadler says anyone having problems with Goodyear's tire should look to their raceshop and not point fingers at the manufacturer. Sadler and fellow Sprint Cup drivers Marcos Ambrose and Clint Bowyer came to Darlington Raceway on Tuesday to check the dormant track and give Goodyear a few insights about what tire to bring for May's Southern 500. Sadler says he heard the complaints from some after last week's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He thought Goodyear had provided the best tire for the track in years and counseled competitors to work on better set ups to prevent blowouts and tire wear. Bowyer said the only problem at Darlington was needing a few laps to blow some of the sand and grit off the surface in the 10 months since the Sprint Cup race.
